## Description

_FreeStrike_ is a single-player, shareware, keyboard controlled, arcade style
space shooter.

The story behind the game has the player taking the role of space cadet John
Blake flying the LRTD-50X, an experimental long-range tactical defence vessel
equipped with advanced weaponry, shield technology and an enhanced quantum
pulse engine. You patrol an seven zones of space where a resistance group are
operating, your orders are to neutralize the them whenever they are
encountered.

The game is keyboard controlled and the player can move their ship freely
around the full area of the screen. Enemy ships come in waves, mainly from the
top of the screen, swooping downwards to attack while others hide behind their
comrades taking up stationery firing positions.

The game has music, optional voiced comments, and a function that lets the
player take in-game screenshots. The game used to allow players to post high
scores on the internet but, in 2017, this is no longer possible. The shareware
game has one zone with three levels while the registered game has seven three-
level zones and seven sound tracks, one per level, plus the option to play the
players own MP3 files.
